Today I ventured into Lewis Morris Park from Sunrise Lake following Patriots' Path to Jockey Hollow Road, just south of the visitor's center. The trail was narrow at parts, but it was a good trail. It took us past the soldier huts and down the Aqueduct Trail. The hike was about a mile and a half and it was relatively flat. Once you get into Jockey Hollow you cannot ride your bike. Updated trails here.

Today I went on a run down the Cunningham Trail. This trail follows Old Route 24. I have done this before, many times. It is right across from Sunrise Lake. It is a very nice trail, wide enough, well maintained, smooth. It follows the Whippany River and small brooks most of the way. I took the white trail to East Main Street, to Dismal, and then turned around and went down the blue trail that splits from it. This takes you through Brookside and brings you all the way to Ralston. I only ran up to Cold Hill Road before turning around.

Yesterday, I went on a hike in Wshington Township on Route 24 on what is called the Gillette Trail. The Gillette Trail is part of the Patriots' Path and it goes to the Columbia Trail. I found out that the Columbia Trail is not Patriots' Path, that is a myth. The white trail actually runs along it for a while. Also, the Bartley Road Trail does run along Route 24, I was starting to disbelieve that. We didn't have enough time to walk the entire trail because it started to rain, but what we walked was a very nice trail. Also, on the way, we took Pottersville Road, and stopped for a quick hike at Kay Environmental Center.Updated Trails: Patriots' Path in Long Valley, Patriots' Path through Hacklebarney and Chubb Parks blue, Conifer Trail.

Patriots Path Part 1 is updated and is now Patriots' Path Parsippany-Randolph, and Part 2 is Parsippany-Livingston, and blue trail is blue trail in livingston. Also there is a new path that I though was just an access trail, its the Blue Old Brookside Trail.

Today I went on a bike ride through Randolph. It started at the edge of Mendham by the Clyde Potts Reservoir. This first part of the trail was awful! You have to cross two brooks and it is very rocky, but that made it fun and challenging. The next part of the trail was very well maintained ant rode along Randolph Trails. This trail went to Combs Hollow Road and then followed the side-walk of Doby Road and it temporarily ends at Heisteins Park. On the way back we took a blue blazed trail that connects the Randolph Trail system to Old Brookside Road. Instead of going back that awful way we continued down the Randolph Trails and the white blazes turned and blue blazes began. The Randolph Trail part is hilly, but well maintained and good for any intermediate rider. The rest of the white trail that goes to Clyde Potts is not a good trail for any biker, much better for walking. Check out pics here.
